i’ve had a pair of these hoes for about 4-5 years now. i still wear them occasionally but they aren’t the most comfortable boot. not much cushion in the soles. i tolerated them for a year but took them backpacking one year, big mistake. i now have two in soles in the bottom that help some. also on my right boot the seam has busted about 2 inches long. luckily they have a liner on the inside so my foots not exposed. still love these boots but i thinks its time for them to come out with a new version.

Johnny, you have a point, but then if you look into the company that produces them you’ll see that their efforts aren’t so much at being eco-friendly as they are opposed to the mainstream fashion that you are describing. Shoes are going to be shipped one way or another, the shoes being made made by unionized workers from recycled and natural materials is just a little plus, but hardly a selling point unless you live a vegan lifestyle in which you are very limited to what you can wear as you’re limited with everything else.
I currently have a pair of Macbeths that are made without any animal products and they’re holding up a lot better and much better looking. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of vegan shoes or just an alternative to the current sweatshop made Chuck Taylors.

I’ve got some beef with these clunky, over-priced, trend-dependent footwear. I cannot justify a $99 price tag for boots that cost more energy to ship than they save by reusing rubber.. these boots are just bragging rights sold in a box to the easily swayed, fashion driven, emotionally isolated, hipster generations.

Hey i’m on my second pair of Unswooshers in a half a year, i’m a bit dissappointed. Both pairs after less than 50 kilometers have started coming apart at the seam on top of the foot. I’m not sure if its poor workmanship in my size (i have a size 12 or 13, they seem to run a bit small for me) or because they make them less well in 2009.
Just a heads up for any possible future buyers.

don’t get me wrong, i love the gimmmic; vegan, reused tires, hemp, fluevog. but they have to last to get my vote.
